  16. Friday: Sentence Forms Show me your questions. Review ?s and move on to sentence forms… Does anyone remember what a “clause” is? How about the four different sentence forms? Knowing subject/predicate, forms and clauses will help you self edit! Take notes! Notebook title: Sentences

  17. Clause • Clause: a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. • Independent Clause: a group of words that contains a subject and a verb AND provides a COMPLETE thought. • Depended Clause: a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but does NOT provide complete thought.

  18. Simple Sentences • Also called an INDEPENDENT CLAUSE • Contains a SUBJECT, PREDICATE, and EXPRESSES a COMPLETE THOUGHT. A. Some studentslike to study in the mornings.B. Juan and Anthonyplay football every afternoon.C. Aliciagoes to the library and studies every day.

  19. Compound Sentences -Contains two independent clauses (simple sentences) joined by a coordinating conjunction. -The conjunctions are as follows: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. (Helpful hint: The first letter of each of the conjunction spells FANBOYS.) -Except for very short sentences, these conjunctions are always preceded by a comma.

  20. Complex Sentences • Has an independent clause joined by a dependent clause/subordinate clause. • Dependent clauses have a subject and a verb, but do not express a complete thought and can’t stand alone as sentences. • A dependent clause begins with a subordinating conjunction, such as because, since, after, although, when, etc. • Follow these formats when writing complex sentences: • DEPENDENT CLAUSE, INDEPENDENT CLAUSE Since I have no milk, I’ll go to the store. • INDEPENDENT CLAUSE DEPENDENT CLAUSE • I’ll go to the store since I have no milk.

  21. Compound-Complex sentence • Contains 2 independent clauses & 1 dependent clause. • Put a comma after the dependent clause if it begins the sentence. • Put a comma before the and, but, or or that connects the 2 independent clauses. • Charlie could not hear his watchbecause it had stopped, and he was worried. • Because it had stopped, Charlie could not hear his watch, and he was worried.
